When placing a <nowiki> inside a <pre> tag, the <nowiki> is lost on the rendering of the page. Because it is inside a <pre> tag, the parser should leave the <nowiki> as text inside the <pre>. Refer to the text on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Sorority_and_fraternity_user_templates under Categories.
This is expected behaviour imo. If you want to keep <nowiki> inside <pre> tags, you can use <pre><nowiki><nowiki></nowiki>Foo<nowiki></nowiki></nowiki></pre> This works well.
Need a parser test. Any documentation about <pre> should mention it is not like <nowiki>.
Well, it's a bit confusing since a single <nowiki> would be rendered literal. However, per another parserTest, the <nowiki> act inside pre for compatibility with pre-1.7 Added parser tests in r73988.
